Good morning and welcome to the Increase Your Impact podcast. Justin Suitt here, episode 1,696.

For those of you who are listening to this, chances are you're listening to this because you want to get better.

You want to get better in something. You want to improve your life. You want to improve your fitness.

You want to improve your nutrition, your leadership, your relationship. You want to improve your fitness. You want to improve your nutrition, your leadership, your relationship. You want to increase your impact, hence the name. But one thing a lot of

people underestimate is how long it's going to take and how hard it's going to be on their

path, on their journey to being the best version of themselves. But one thing to remember

is, if you're serious about being great, you must be willing to do things that are difficult

for you to do. I'll say it again. If you're serious about being great, you must be willing to do

those things that are difficult

for you to do it is supposed to be hard it is supposed to be difficult because if it was easy

everyone would do it and so if you're going through a rough patch if you can't where it seems difficult to achieve this thing you're going through a rough patch, if you can't, where it seems difficult to achieve

this thing you're going after, you need to embrace the boredom of consistency.

You need to realize it's going to get hard.

You need to keep learning from every single iteration that you have, have that difficult

conversation with another person.

Have that difficult conversation with yourself.

Whatever you need to do, work at it.

Put into work every single day and you'll get better.

As we talk about all the time, little by little, a little becomes a lot.

So once again, if you're serious about being great, you must be willing to do

those things that are difficult for you to do. You can do hard things. Difficult is not bad.

Difficult is not possible. Difficult is just difficult. And you can do difficult things.
